Without A Trace, Book One of my new Echo Lake series is now available for pre-order!

On the night of a blood moon, three girls entered the Ruins, the dilapidated remains of an old psychiatric hospital. One girl was found unconscious the next morning at the edge of Echo Lake. A second girl was discovered weeks later wandering along a country road in a near catatonic state. The third girl was never seen or heard from again. Until

Moonlight glinted off the windows, giving the place a strange...

So…I’ve been pretty busy the last few months working on a new trilogy for Harlequin Intrigue. Though these books are quite different in tone and content from The Graveyard Queen series, I’ve gone back to the magnolia-scented streets and alleys of Charleston, South Carolina, to track a brutal serial killer.

Twenty-five years ago, the Twilight Killer preyed on young mothers, placing upon their cold, dead lips a crimson magnolia petal. Twilight’s Children—the offspring left behind by his murdero...

Happy Friday morning!  Bishop’s Rock, my new digital short from Intrigue, is out today for $1.99.  This is an amnesia story set in the beautiful Texas Hill country.

Whispering Springs Ranch remained a mystery to her, but she knew she’d been to the Texas Hill Country before. She had vague memories of long, lazy days floating down the bottle-green Guadalupe and of hot summer nights gazing up at the stars. However, she had no memories at all of the man beside her. The man who claimed to be her h...

Thrilled to announce The Awakening has been nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award for Best Horror 2017. If you’re so inclined, please vote! Wouldn’t this be a nice way to launch a new era of The Graveyard Queen?!

My first Intrigue in many, many moons releases today and I thought you might enjoy a little background info on the story. For those of you who followed Amelia in The Graveyard Queen series, you’ll remember her phobias of spiders and close places. I don’t suffer too terribly from arachnophobia or claustrophobia, but Pine Lake taps into my very real fear of heights and more specifically, of falling. I happened upon this article in the Daily Mail one day and was both fascinated and freaked out b...

Welcome to Pine Lake

Olive Belmont’s sleepwalking has placed her at the scene of a crime and in the crosshairs of a vicious killer…

It’s been a while since I checked in and there is a lot going on in my little neck of the woods.  My first Intrigue in over five years is coming out on October 1 and I’m so excited!  Writing this book was like going home again and I loved every minute of it.  For those of you who found me through The Graveyard Queen Series, this book is a departure, but I hope yo...

It’s been awhile since I posted so I figured I’d best catch everyone up on what’s going on in my little writing world.  I’m currently finishing up the second book of an old Intrigue contract that I signed before I wrote The Graveyard Queen series.  Needless to say, I’m a little late with those books, haha.

These are romantic-suspense stories of 50,000 to 55,000 words so a fast-paced read.  The first is entitled Pine Lake and will be out in October of this year.  It was a super fun book to wri...
